CENTERS HEALTH CARE BUYS FOCUS AT OTSEGO

The sale of Focus at Otsego to Centers Health Care was completed today.

COOPERSTOWN –Centers Health Care , which operates 42 skilled nursing and rehab facilities in New York, New Jersey and Rhode Island, today completed its purchase of Focus Otsego, formerly the county’s Otsego Manor. It will now be known as Cooperstown Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing.

The sale will include Focus Otsego’s Long-Term Home Health Care Program.

“We’re thrilled to welcome with open arms the residents, their family members and our new staff to the Centers family,” said Centers CEO Kenny Rozenberg, “and we rededicate these facilities to providing the finest care and service.”

Rozenberg said Centers has been consulting with Focus since April, a nine-month agreement to upgrade operational and management of the facility on Phoenix Mills Road. The consulting arrangement grew into the purchase.

That gives Centers 19 skilled nursing and rehabilitation facilities Upstate, as well as managed long-term care, and adult daycare, home care and assisted living. Centers acquired seven facilities in the central and eastern part of the state from Capital Living in September.
